NEW DELHI: Xerox Corporation has enhanced six software tools within its FreeFlow Digital Workflow Collection, an integrated set of software that streamlines the way print providers handle print jobs.

Xerox in collaboration with Press-sense has introduced FreeFlow Web Services 5.0, key among upgrades, new Web Services software that provides a Web portal so people can submit and buy print jobs online, known in the print industry as 'Web-to-print.'

Press-sense, developer of business flow automation solutions for the print industry, customized its iWay Prime Web-to-print software for Xerox and ensured the software integrates into the entire FreeFlow Collection, which helps printers achieve short-run printing at lower cost and grow their page volume.

Holly Muscolino, director of US-based InfoTrends Production Workflow Solutions Consulting Service, said, “Nearly 25 percent of the pages printed on high-speed digital color presses arrive via the Web. To be competitive, print providers need a strong Web presence to capture this volume and build customer loyalty.”

“The joint development work between Xerox and Press-sense on FreeFlow Web Services 5.0 creates a complete Web-to-print resource that seamlessly integrates into existing workflows and gives print buyers quick and easy access to print services anytime from anywhere,” he added.

FreeFlow Web Services 5.0 gives print providers the tools needed to maximize the benefits of Web-to-print services. The software allows print providers to create customized Web sites for each customer or print buyer to upload and select print jobs.

Simplifying the print process, Web Services automatically processes job specifications that are defined online by the print buyer and transforms this information into a ready-to-print job ticket.

Print providers can deliver 24/7 customer service with instant quotes and e-mail notification of job status.
